Ratings and reviews

I find this app very useful and convenient for public transport in the Basel area and adjacent areas in France and Germany. Transit staff in all three nations have immediately recognized and consistently accepted it during my travels. Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically renew your "Abo". The app has been very reliably sending me a reminder by SMS text message one week before expiry.

Payment didn't work several times and had to re-enter all the information

Unable to renew my U-Abo. No matter what, removing the app and reinstalling, your app is unable to connect to the server! Your personals at the front disk are unable to solve the problem. Please spend some of the cash you collect from your clients on some qualified programmers to solve the trouble! What's use to advertise for a U-Abo that you are unable to maintain or undate!? Sick and tired of your service.
